but your missing the point just because you say the word doesnt make you racist it makes you a racist if you say the word with an intent of racism maybe its not in the lexicon of normal slurs where you live but it is in the music i listen to the friends that i hang out with and the people that are in my college of course its offensive but only if you are doing it with the intent of racism which can be identified pretty easily ex that fucking nigger vs your a nigger go back to africa ive heard that first phrase so many times in rap and never once did i take that as racism and not many do but the second phrase can easily be identified as racist
